An F/A-18F Super Hornet assigned to the Checkmates of Strike Fighter Squadron 211 lands aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise as part of the first squadron to land aboard the ship in more than two years. Enterprise is conducting flight deck certification leading to its 21st deployment.

All of that generation is numbered. Now they get to join the great ships of the WWII generation (y’know, except the ones that sank) as museum exhibits. I just hope that the replacements that are being built are designed for the conflicts of the 21st century (likely a lot of humanitarian and anti-piracy for the forseeable).
